SP: I am going to chicken out but winning gold in the same swimming event at three Olympics has never been done before.

Even the greatest swimmer in history, the GOAT Michael Phelps, didn’t complete a three-peat in the same event. He won at three Olympics but had to go over the 200m free and 200m individual medley to do it.

With the backdrop of Adam saying he had his problems with alcoholism and depression it is not going to be easy and we have an amazing talent in Qin who is putting in 57.6secs times.

KP: Qin is a machine. He was rolling out times at major championships. He is very, very impressive.

However I do think Adam is in the best place he could be in mentally because he is the underdog.

He has been the favourite for so long and that has been hard. It is so tough to stay at the top. By having this time out, Adam has given himself the freedom to go in without the pressure he would have had.
